Authorized Keys in Windows 10 OpenSSH
Summary
With Windows now supporting OpenSSH, I figured I could setup password-less login from my Linux server and pull my home backups automatically. Currently I push backups to my server using Windows Scheduler and it’s far from ideal as any adjustment to process requires my login to each machine separately. First attempt to get it working relied on Microsoft’s documentation and, while it did allow for password login, got me nowhere when it comes to authentication keys. There are many comments at GitHub repository dealing with the same issue but it was impossible to tell what is working and what not – especially since quite a few advises were contradictory. Mind you, recommended commands might have been working at one time or another but my Windows 10 November update was resistant to everything I found there.
